The Central Government has power to specify by notification any class or classes of persons by whom tax is payable under the Income-tax Act or any tax or duty is payable under any other law for the time being in force.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has in order to improve service delivery to the Corporate Sector recently taken initiatives for further simplifying procedures under the Companies Act, 1965 and the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. These include: (a) Company Law Settlement Scheme: The scheme was initially notified w.e.f. 12.08.2011 to enable the Companies failing to file their annual returns and financial statements to file the same. This measure has elicited a good response and so far 61875 documents have been filed yielding the revenue of Rs. 7.71 crore. As the demand for availing of this concession is persistent, a decision has been taken to extend this one time measure till 15.12.2011.

In addition to the above facility, NSDL has launched a Short Message Service (SMS) based facility to know the status of its challans. The procedure for availing this facility is as under:
National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) processes PAN and TAN applications on behalf of Income Tax Department. With a view to keep the applicant updated about the status of his application, NSDL has launched a Short Message Service (SMS) based facility.

With a view to ensuring that premiums are paid out of clearly identifiable sources of funds, it has been decided to permit premium/proposal deposits remittances in cash beyond Rs. 50000/- per transaction subject to the customer quoting PAN. Insurers shall verify the authenticity of the details of PAN so obtained.In case of customers not required to have PAN orwith only agricultural income, Form 60/61 prescribed under the provisions of Income Tax Rules shall be obtained.
